Once upon a time, many moons ago, author Cornelia Funke wrote her beloved best-selling book Inkheart with actor Brendan Fraser in mind. Funke pictured the character Mo with Fraser’s face and voice.

Almost six years later, the film version of the book arrives in theaters bearing Fraser’s marquee name. While Funke was definitely right in being inspired by the actor, the book deserved a far better adaptation worthy of its rich material. Read More...

Is "The Love Guru" the Worst Film of 2008? Razzie Awards Nominations Announced!

Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 12:48 PMPosted by Manny

Mike Myers' mess of a comedy is leading this year's Golden Raspberry Awards aka the Razzies!

"The Love Guru" scored seven nominations including WORST PICTURE of the year! Yikes!

Myers is also nominated for WORST ACTOR alongside Larry the Cable Guy for "Witless Protection," Eddie Murphy for "Meet Dave," Al Pacino, yes THE Al Pacino for both "88 Minutes" and "Righteous Kill," and Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg for both "The Happening" and "Max Payne."

Then there is comeback kid Mickey Rourke, who is poised to follow his Golden Globe-winning performance in "The Wrestler" with an offer to play the main villain in "Iron Man 2" — but at a lowball opening offer of $250,000 from Marvel; Marvel’s tactics have already prompted Samuel L. Jackson to swear off playing Nick Fury because of a similarly low offer.

Is Mister Mickey that cheap? What can the solution be? Can Mickey take a pay cut and accept gross points instead? Stay tuned...

“We’ve actually added some things to it. We did a whole little chapter that I wrote and designed for the animated sequence, that we never did, because we figured, back when it was gonna be one big movie, it was going to be too long, so we didn’t do it. So when we were talking about re-releasing it, they asked is there anything you can put in, and I said no I put everything in there, but… there’s one sequence that we wouldn’t even have to shoot! So we got together with Production IG and did it, and it’s really cool. So it’s this little seven minute sequence, it’s really cool, it’s in the O-Ren chapter.”

Hmmm...this will be an interesting flick! I enjoyed both versions when they came out, and I can't wait for this full uninterrupted flick!
